CONFLUENCE
Atlassian Confluence is an enterprise wiki used by thousands of enterprises worldwide for gathering knowledge. With this software, you and your employees work together in one place. You can easily centralize, edit, comment, share and update all information throughout the company. Your employees receive the knowledge that normally gets lost in inboxes or shared network drives. That way, it is much easier to find and administrate data. Logic knowledge and document management and a highly efficient search engine ensure that you always find the right content. Working processes become more transparent and simplify the cooperation. Bring everyone together in one place and grant them access to your enterprise’s collective knowledge.

This allows for a better communication of your corporate identity or of the main theme of your knowledge database.
